Hi ppl need your help.

my engine management light has started coming on recently, it doesnt seem to effect the running of the car when it come on it revs the same as normal and will pull as normal, the light doesnt always stay on for long periods either and it only comes on when moving at speed.. some times its only on for a few seconds other times it can be on for a few minuets.... so anyway i thought i would try and do a papperclip test see if that showed anything, and then atleast i would no were to start looking... so i followed the how to guide on here and straight away hit a problem... the guide says if you have the simtec 56.5 16-pin connector (which i do) you should place the paper clip in pin 5 & 6 only problem is i dont seem to have a pin 6.... help me plz !!!

My car does exactly the same but guy at local garage said its just common for corsa's even if nothings wrong

Ooh right ok then, yea it didn't really worry me Too much cause if owt major was up the car would go into the so called "safe mode" and like I said it don't it just keeps going as normal, it's just annoying really, I have noticed it only really does it at higher speeds and revs... Just driving round town an that it doesn't really do it..

Anyone help me on how to do the paperclip test with no pin 6... Would be good to no for the future... Is there any other way of finding the fault code... Help me lol

Somebody... Anybody... Someone must have an idea, a way of doing paperclip test without pin 6, or another way of getting the fault code??? Need help

I needed to buy a fault code reader for mine mate...

Where did you get it from mate? I got given a cheap one but looking at it it just has two pins that line up with pin 5 and 6 lol I plugged it in anyway and nothin happened... Does yours work then and got and links to where it from

I bought this one:

And its very good. It comes with the op-com software (looks exactly like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqrhF_6LDcQ ) and a USB to EMU connector.
